The Supreme Court of India has flayed the Indian Army for not taking action against its officers involved in fake encounter that took place twelve years ago in Pathribal area of occupied Kashmir.
A bench of the apex court New Delhi issued notice to the Indian Defence and the Home Secretaries in March‚ 2000 about fake encounter in which five civilians were gunned down and passed on as militants responsible for Chattisinghpora massacre. It asked the Army to file a reply by friday. The court observation came after army refused to hold the trial. This led to the Court criticizing the Army and gave them a week's time to respond.
